A lovely lunch from lovely people. Aptly named, Brimstone Bakery offers a cozy lunch and quality experience with house made breads, soups, jams and a bevy of baked treats. The indoor dining area is bright and warm. The proprietors were welcoming, engaging and attentive but not overbearing. Service was fast, not rushed.
We both had a BLT on toasted bread: well proportioned and constructed. Every bite was satisfying down to the last. The soups were delicious: a caramelized apple, fennel and kabocha soup (savory with a touch of sweetness) and a tomato soup with grilled cheese croutons. The blueberry-basil lemonade was as beautiful as it was tasty.
We highly recommend the chipotle hot chocolate (smoky and sweet), the spiced molasses cake with brown sugar frosting and the chocolate cake. The cake slices are generous portions, moist, and rich in complex flavors.
Everything has a little extra touch demonstrating the thought put into each detail, including the bamboo spoons and sandwich wrappings. The prices are solid, but combined with the quality, Brimstone Bakery provides excellent value. Well worth a day trip and the drive through the mountains.
Thank you for a lovely meal. We'll definitely be back, looking forward to the quiche and the outdoor garden dining area in the...
Read moreWe were looking just to grab a coffee and a quick snack before we got on the road home from my baseball Haj to Mecca of Cooperstown. Brimstone Bakery might be the most serendipitous stop we have ever made! The latte was great, but the baked goods in this place were INCREDIBLE! I couldn't decide what to get, so we got one of just about everything. Scones, quiches, meat pies, OMG! The sausage and cheese hand pie was 🤌MOI! Chef's kiss! The folks there could not have been nicer. Got some packaged goods they make on premise too. Strawberry-coconut-banana tea bread, corn meal cookies...each thing we've had has been better than the last. Anyone going to upstate NY needs to reroute your trip through Sharon and STOP at the Brimstone! I never post reviews, but felt compelled to here! Google should have a special category for places this...
Read moreThis was my first time to this bakery and traveled about 45 minutes to find that this place was pretty small for what I was expecting .
it looks more like a very small Cafe though their pastries looked very good and though greeted with professionalism , I didn't feel it was genuine as though it was too staged.
When I asked how long they were in business he commented they were open for 6 years and asked how they were doing and his response was, we wouldn't be in business!
I sensed it from the owner which did not make me feel comfortable or even welcomed.
Overall I give it a two ⭐ based on the experience alone.
I don't know if I want...
